AUTOMATED UNDERCARRIAGE
Automated Undercarriage Diagnostics - Automated undercarriage diagnostics is a performance based brake tester (PBBT) combined with a dynamic road simulator. The brake tester measures the braking force produced by each wheel on a vehicle, right to left and axle by axle. It them produces a definitive report on the health of the vehicle’s brakes including a PASS or FAIL rating to DOT specifications.
The road simulator allows technicians to view steering and suspension components under harsh operating conditions. Otherwise undetectable mechanical issues are easily spotted.
Issues the system can diagnose:
Brakes
- Incorrect brake adjustment
- Compressor performance issues
- Air distribution problems
- Faulty slack adjustors
- Glazed or contaminated linings
- Damaged S cam components
- Drum out of round issues
- Broken parking brake springs
- Unbalanced braking force
- Weak Braking force
Steering & Suspension
- Worn tie rod ends & king pins
- Spring pins, shackles & hangers
- Worn bushings
- Shock absorbers
- Loose u bolts
- Air Bag Integrity
Frame & Chassis
- Weight distribution
- Axle load balance
- Worn engine mounts
- Damaged cab mounts
Other
- Detect high rolling resistance
- Find Loose wheel bearings
- Drive train problems
- Worn yokes / center bearings
- Loose exhaust mounts
- Fifth wheel components
